Abstract

The transition from a rigid and controlled marketing system in the dairy industry in South Africa was, and still is, a painful experience for dairy producers. Factors such as the liberalisation of the international market, as well as the regulation of certain inputs and imports, contribute to this situation. At present it is fair to say that on producer level the dairy industry has been deregulated, but that inputs are still highly regulated and that concentration exists. In this article different strategies for milk producers in South Africa such as information, balancing buying power and organised groups are discussed
